The Friends of the Professional Car Society is the official website of the Professional Car Society, Inc. (Society). Our membership is primarily dues paying members of the Society; however, it is not a requirement that you belong to the Society to participate in our website.
The professional car is loosely defined as a custom bodied vehicle based on passenger car styling and used in the funeral, rescue, or livery services. Such vehicles may be hearses, flower cars, service cars, ambulances, limousines, or cars which are specially built to combine two or more of these different functions-combination hearse-ambulances, sedan-ambulances, or invalid coaches.
The Society was founded in 1976 to encourage the preservation of such vehicles. At that time, many of these vehicles had no established classes in multi-marquee antique car organizations. The Society's growth since that time has helped to establish the position of the professional car in more clubs and shows, and has served to preserve many of these vehicles for future collectors to restore and enjoy.

Now that I'm playing with the car more and more, I'm probably going to be picking your brains about little things here and there. On the roof of our 1970 Superior Caddy you can see where the round rotator light was in the center. There are 2 spear/tear drop shaped spots where there was something. A light maybe? I can't figure it out.

Could be the base for a Mars 888 light, but more likely, it was a pair of Federal CP-25 speakers. Usually, the Mars 888 lights would have been mounted much lower, since they were a "traffic clearing light".

I ordered one on eBay and just got it and fits perfectly on the roof. I'll probably move the other to the same spot on the other side but I just need a base for it. If someone has a new like in the pic below for sale please let me know.

Should have posted here in the wanted section, and you probably would have found both that you needed, and in all probability , for less money. Also, until you hook it up, you have no way to know if it is a working unit.

Just an FYI; 95% (99%?) of these cars that had exterior speakers had them mounted on the cab, not on the upper roof. Superior used exclusive brackets for mounting these for 1965-70 models, which can be found from time to time. These brackets have been discussed extensively in other posts on this forum.
